TransLoc Rider Overview
This app leverages an Apple service called the "significant location change service", which runs in the background and collects data only when your device has traveled 500 meters and five minutes have passed.
TransLoc Rider provides real-time transit tracking, arrival predictions and proximity alerts.
• New multi-modal trip plan update incorporates stop, route and schedule information when passengers use multiple modes of transportation (e.g. Uber and mass transit).
The benefit to transit riders is assisting transit agencies in positioning routes and stops as well as dispatching vehicles with optimal frequency.

Best app for public transpo but sometimes off
Sometimes when I hit notify me when 5 min away it won’t , but I know the bus times near me so I knew it was coming idk if it was bc the route just started or bc the bus driver takes a break and u can see the bus sitting there idle then boom u look again and it’s almost at ur stop [ I live near a mall where route begins ] also upcoming is sometimes inaccurate u gotta keep watching it to know or look up the times and only check how far it is basically. Once they fix those things it will be unstoppable but overall is a great help

Great Start Could Be Better
I downloaded the app after my son and I became daily commuters to the Bus. I drop him off at daycare in the mornings and pick him up and also ride throughout the day to job search.. Some of the bus lines are off or if you aren’t standing at a particular bus stop it won’t tell you that it’s coming. But since I ride the same routes everyday I have learned to navigate through the app.. Definitely easier than calling the phone line every time I leave from somewhere

About time
Thank you for accurate transit tracking that we have waited decades for. Good direction. Few improvements would be jumping to closest stop is not always correct and some buses that are clearly off schedule but show as on time. Not sure if the eta is based on schedule or bus tracking or both. A few improvements in eta accuracy would help as it tends to overestimate the time a little. Might need traffic calibration perhaps!
